Henry George.

With many Of Mr.. Georges ideas we
agree. Very many of the ideas he has
put forth are not original with him, but
they were well presented by him to at
tract the attention of others.
But he is away off on the land ques-
ton.
All talk about the people Of the country
suffering from want of land TO OCCUPY is
bosh. The government Of the United
States, which means the people CT the
United States, offer millions upon mil
lions of acres to those who are disposed
to occupy the same for homesteads.
The people are not quite ready to bring
the great plains and prairies of the west
into the cities as fenced farms and pile
them into the laps of the people who sit
in saloons with their feet on tables drink
ing beer, smoking tobacco, and discussing
politics.
If men will 60 out and away from the
large cities where poverty, degradation
and death hold carnival continually, and
there engage in the work OF home build
ing exactly as the pioneers and their
descendants have done for generations
past, ell those who LOW live in this coun-
try can have homes OF then own
From the day that Abraham bought and
paid pieces of silver for burial ground
for his wife to the present time, land has
been considered as property that man can
buy, pay for and hold. The theory ad-
vanced by Henry George in relation to
land is tirst-rate, the only trouble we see
in the way being the gaining of the con-
sent of several millions of lapd owners il
the United States to let loose of what they
have and 90 fishing.
1t is always well enough for man to
take as large bite as possible from an
apple, but when he bites of more than he
can chew his face is not in very good
shape for taking picture.
People Of the United States are pro-
gressIve, but are notwiling to progress
backwards or to surfender titles of the
land which they hxTe purchased.

4 Gentle man of Gordon Writes About the
Methods of Dallas Undertaken.
GCKpONI Ten, NaICN : I 81
To the Editor of the Gazette.

GORDON, TRN., March ;. 81.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Will you permit me, through the col
umns of your popular journal, to make en-
expose which think is due to the public?
Last Monday the body of Joseph Hol-
bert, citizen Of this vicinity, who was
found dead under the Trinity river bridge
at Dallas, as reported by your correspond
ent, was turned over to enc Linskie, an
undertaken of Dallas. Instead of inform
ing the friends of Mr.. Holbert of his
death, he sent the following telegram to
G. w. Gentry & Co., of which firm / .m
member which explains itself:
DALLAS, Ten, Feb. "a
&c. W. Gentry ~ Co., Gordon, Tex:
"Have you any funds Oh hand belonging
to Joe X. Holbert? Answer qn,ek.
"P. W. SiNsEIE." !
This came without hint of what hSA
befJllen the unfortunate man, and not
knowing what might be wanted, answered.
as fellows:
GORDON, ZEN, Feb. IS
"P W. Linskie, Dallas, Tex.
"We sent Holbert SS5. Have more,
money. G. W. GENTRY & Cor
In few hours the following came:

Estate amount on hand.
"P W. LISsKIE."
And still nc animation of the death OF
Holbert. On Tuesday morning another
dispatch was received from Linskie as
follows:
"DAILAs, Ten, Feb. Is.
&c. W. Gentry 4 Co, Gordon
"Joe X. Holbert il dead. Wire instruc-
tons"
Now any one can see that what this
man Linskie was after was to know just
how large bill he could make in furnish
ing dead body with burial and be sure
to make collections. And in order 20 Go
this he was wiling to withhold the infor-
nation of his death from his friends till
he could make a heavy draft upon what
he left his family. l think the public
ought to know what manner OF man he is,
and by giving this space you will very
much Ublige. Respectfully,

icence often displayed by railroad Off
! Gals in tae matter of making public infor
nation relating to railroad accidents.
"The general public" said Mr.. Goodman,
"of course cannot be blamed for its ignor-
ance regarding the Importance to a rail
road company OF the slightest accident
or shortcoming to train traversing its
r"ils. There does, indeed, to the disin-
| tereSted outsider, seem to be but little
reason in q railway compauy's SUPPRESS
| ing news regarding any such happening
over its line. But when 1t is known under
what difficulties company has to act with
regard to disasters, think they could be
convinced that the seeming zealousness
with which accounts of accidents are
guarded by the employees of the company
| is but right and just sitter all. For in
stance, should an accident happen on
the road between here and Newhall it
would be telegraphed over the country
with the usual sensational addenda that
so mauy were presumably killed outright,
and as many more just as presumably
MANNED or mangled. This is the case
wi h every railway accident ever reported
that amounted to anything. Facts are
distorted. The simple saysO of q passen-
ger or employe, no matter what the lat
ter's grade in the service may be, are
taken as truth. Outside the injury this
works the company, which Is manifest,
the public itself is electrified and hUrri-
tied by what is not true, or even aalf
fact ia many instances. For the reasons,
news regarding an accident over nearly
every railway line is suppressed as much
as possible until the full facts and all the
truth is made known at headquarters.
Then the press can have &ll they want and
the public all they desire regarding sny-
thing that has occurred on the road. 1t
is simply a matter OF precaution against
the manifold evils that result to a railway
company through widespread and sensa- !
tional reports of accidents that may have |
occurred on it's lines that actustes them to |
suppress news OF any occurrence until |
such time as complete particulars are OBJ |
tanned. Then the world may know it all |
if it pleases. Instances are many where |
companies have been damaged almost If
reparably by these sensational reports, |
that usually emanate from a talk-loylpg |
passenger or crack Drained emDloye, ana |
can cite one over the Pennsylvania road |
of an alleged accident whereby it was
stated five people had been killed. The
company very properly guarded the affair, /
investigated, and then informed the Press
Association that hot journal had caused |
g two hours delay to the train, which did |
not as a fact carry single passenger and
was cattle train"
